Abstract

Since the second half of the 20th century, the strengthening of maritime transport infrastructures and technologies (Hall, Hesse, Jean- Paul, 2006) has contributed to global economies development and redesigned both society and space, leading to substantial changes in urban and territorial systems. On the one hand, city-port brownfield sites, defined as “drosscapes” (Berger, 2006) or also “non-port places” or “non-place ports” (Daamen, 2007), whose infrastructure are no longer appropriate due to transformations of the maritime sector, are increasing, on the other hand, many environmental impacts and social one as a result of new port industrial activities (Dinwoodie, Tuck, Knowles, Benhin, Sansom, 2012; Hall, 2007; Carpenter, Macgill, 2003) have been detected. City-port sustainable transformations have been addressed in the scientific field as well as by many international organizations (IAPH, 2020; OECD, 2016; Verhoeven, Backx, 2010). In this context, the circular economy provides a suitable framework for city-port regeneration, within a multi-scalar approach integrating urban and maritime dynamics. The paper aims to define a set of criteria as part of the decision-making process supporting the elaboration of circular regenerative strategy operationalizing the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda (United Nations, 2015). According to a set of criteria structured based on recent reports on port sustainability and circular economy for urban settlements, the ex-post assessment of the practices transformation processes of Rotterdam, Barcelona, Dublin and Marseille has been analyzed through the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method (Ishizaka, Nemery, 2013; Saaty, 2005), a technique of the Multi-Criterion Analysis (AMC), which allows to order regenerative practices and to carry out a sensitivity analysis on the significance and interdependence of the criteria, coherently with the principles of the circular economy.
